When Qin Guan finally submitted his thesis to the school, he found that the "Mean Girl" had been drowned out by the other films that had been released at the same time.
They had just received their diplomas, so the premiere was in the first week of the summer vacation.
The film might have catered to the students and their parents, but the "Mean Girl" was too fresh among the violent Hollywood blockbusters.
This youth film, which only involved the love between teenagers on campus, was like a small white flower in the autumn wind, delicate and easy to push down in the middle of the huge publicity offensive of the summer blockbusters.
Some film critics, who catered to the needs of the market, started to criticize the film even before it was released.
"This is the first commercial film of Qin Guan, the winner of the Best Actor Award in Berlin and Cannes. His ability to choose films is inversely proportional to his acting skills in artistic films."
"Prediction post: In the summer season 'Who Will Fight Me' tournament, the bitch with the lowest attack and the weakest defense, how many rounds will it take for her to fall?"
"Can artistic films and commercial films be combined perfectly? Will the Best Actor Award suffer a failure at the box office? "
As the so-called experts looked down on the film, the ordinary audience, who were used to sitting on the fence, were more or less affected by the public opinion.
Some older audiences expressed their dislike for this kind of movie, which was aimed at a younger audience.
Of course, not all of them were fans of Qin Guan. Some of them were fans of his artistic films, so they remained calm on the Internet.
Unlike his die-hard fans, they replied and supported him calmly on Qin Guan's official website.
"As a simple fan of Qin Guan, I only care about his acting skills, not his films."
'That's right. Even if it's a sh * tty movie, it will have its shining points. As a Best Actor, as long as he plays his role well and doesn't lose his standard, it will be the greatest success.'

Neat and calm, it was a good start for the hot-blooded fans who were like headless flies.
They learned how to sort out their emotions and how to use the most correct method to maintain their idols' image in certain situations.
Naturally, the harmonious atmosphere made them stick together. Fans from nearby cities and counties started to contribute to the box office of "Mean Girl".
At the end of June, elementary and high schools in the United States were on holiday. The longest and most enjoyable holiday for students came when "Mean Girl" was released.
Those who threw away their heavy schoolwork to date the girl they liked, and those who pestered their parents to enjoy a happy family time on the weekend, all entered the best place to kill time — the cinema.
Among all the films about fighting and killing, "Mean Girl" was the only one suitable for the whole family.
Other people sold tickets one at a time, but "Mean Girl" sold tickets one at a time. Sometimes there were three or four tickets, and sometimes there were seven or eight tickets.
More often than not, a small theater could be built with only a few families, and the attendance rate was extremely high.
As a result, a scene that left even the cinema owner dumbfounded appeared.
There were many people sitting in the theater for "Mean Girl". They laughed and cheered when the film was shown.
However, in the screening halls of the so-called Hollywood blockbusters, only half of the seats were occupied. Some of the more unbearable ones became the worst examples of snoring in the audience.
When the audience came out of the theater, the cinema owners, who had a keen sense of smell like great white sharks, adjusted the schedule the next day.
What's more, those blockbuster operators who had already paid the publicity fees couldn't find trouble with them, right?
The latest box office statistics, as well as the reports from various film critics, were also published.
The first week of the summer vacation, the North American box office chart.
No.1 Mean Girl, first-day box office: 4.3 million USD.
No.2 Alien vs. Predator Box Office on First Day: 3.8 million
No. 3 Kill Bill 2 Opening Day Box Office: 2.8 million
No. 4 Butterfly Effect Box Office Earnings on First Day: 2 million
…
As soon as this set of data appeared, all the film investment companies in North America were shocked.
Not to mention the high-tech special effects invested in the post-production of the Alien vs. Predator, just the sequel of the Kill Bill series alone would cost tens of millions of US dollars, not to mention the butterfly effect that everyone had been optimistic about before the screening.
Instead, a youth comedy with a small budget took the top spot.
This made a group of investors, who boasted of their foresight, drop their glasses.
The film critics, who had been full of confidence and were waiting for the bitch's Waterloo to fall, were instantly silenced.
It was supposed to be the hottest weekend premiere, but in the columns of various media outlets, there was a strange silence.
Of course, there were Chinese newspapers and forums, as well as Qin Guan's official blog, which had been changed beyond recognition by Rongzhi.
At this time, social networks and entertainment forums had sunk into a sea of cheap girls. The teenagers who had seen the film from all over the world were the largest part of these netizens.
Naturally, the discussion about him as the male lead of the film came out in the open.
"A male actor who is underestimated by American commercial film investors."
"It's rare for Qin Guan to make my mother feel the taste of youth in the film. Only then did we realize that he was just a young man in his early twenties. He's not a refined middle-aged Best Actor, but a young man brimming with youth! '
"Am I the only one who can see how handsome Qin Guan is behind all the crazy reviews?"
"Ah! You are not fighting alone! Qin Guan is handsome! "
"Handsome!"
